NO FEUD WITH LEGION SAYS LABOPw CHIEF. .Many of Four-L Doctrines Advanced for Years by A. F. of L., He De clares Tribute Pulil to Mem ory of Oregon's Governor. Those who went to the Hippo drome last night expecting to hear Otto Hartwlg, president of the State Federation of Labor, make caustic comment in regard to the activities and principles of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen were sadly disappointed. Mr. Hartwig merely poured a small quantity of oil on the slightly troubled waters of union and Four-L competition. He declared that the ideals of the legion a square deal, better conditions and the eight-hour day have long been fought for by the trades unions. A packed bouse heard his address. "I am here to clear up a mis understanding as to the relations of the two organizations," be said. 'Personally I have nothing against the Loyal Legion. It did a wonder ful work during the war. I hope that it will be able to do what the American federation has done. Square Deal I nion Aim. "The A. F. of L. stands for a square deal. Any other organization that has this tor its object, and is trying to better the conditions of the workers, has our support. We are not on the defensive; neither are we Indulging in criticism. I understand that some criticism has been launched at the unions and that some unkind things have been said about us by some who were connected with the establishment of another organi zation. This, however, is not the policy underlying that organization, and I am assured that there will be no more of these attaks." Mr. Hartwig asserted that organi zation of labor is an essential to progress, pointing out Russia, torn by civil strife, -and - falling behind when most needed by the allies, as the one nation in which organization was sternly repressed. Organization Won War. "We have just gone through a terrible conflict, and nothing but or ganization made success in that con flict possible. If organization is per missable to prevent an autocratic nation from dominating the world, why should not labor organize against an industrial autocracy?" he asked. "Labor organizations are the out growth of conditions. They are not a luxury, but a necessity. Without them we would have a revolution In America In 60 days. "Labor must organize to hold its own with organized dollars. There are still some employers, and, by the way, I don't think you have any of them here, who say to labor, 'You must not organize.' That is none of the employer's business. Labor must have an opportunity to function, to right Its wrongs, to express itself. You can't keep on forever firing a boiler and forever sitting on the safety valve, you know. Other Movements Praised. "Often movements start which have a dgree of organization. These are laudable; but often the full de gree of organization is not attained.' In regard to these, I wish to say that tho A. F. of L. wants to see the work ers get every possible benefit, and that we are for any organization that will do this. We have, however, in the A. F. of L. an organization tbat has already vaBtly improved the con dition of labor, and my advice to you is to look things over before you make a change." Matt Magee of the Central Labor council presided at the meeting last night, and a brief address by G, H. Baker and somgs by the Bend Im perial Male quartet, composed of Dr. Turner, Prince nnd Sylvester tSaats and O. A. Thorson were given dur ing the early part of the evening. In tribute to the late governor of Oregon, the audience and lnbtfr lead ers stood for a moment with bowed heads after the playing of the na tional anthem.
